ABOUT THE WINE Celeste Crianza was the first Spanish wine produced by the Torres family outside of . Traditions run strong in the region of Ribera del Duero where grapes have been grown since the 12th century. Large diurnal temperature ranges and cool mountainous winds in DO Ribera del Duero contribute to perfectly ripened Tinto Fino. Celeste Crianza displays a pristine balance of fruit, body and color as unique as the night sky looking down over the region. The soft garnet hue awakens to brooding aromas of ripe black fruit, chocolate and fine roasted coffee with notes of dried plum and baking spice. Dense, fleshy and impressively persistent.
